Background:

Simon grew up as a single child in a small, rural town on the edge of thick woods and old farmland. His childhood home was quiet to the point of eeriness — a creaking, under-furnished two-story house filled with dusty books, forgotten storage boxes, and not a single TV. His parents weren’t unkind, but they operated on an “independent child” philosophy: His mother: a mortuary makeup artist who worked odd hours, often coming home late with the faint scent of formaldehyde. She loved her work, but she wasn’t expressive or nurturing — she taught Simon to be calm, precise, and unbothered by dead things. His father: a high school history teacher, deeply serious, soft-spoken, and chronically distracted by grading or writing. He adored odd historical facts and encouraged Simon to “question everything.” They weren’t emotionally abusive — just a strangely distant, isolated family unit. Affection was expressed through lectures on bone structure, not hugs. Because of this, Simon learned to spend long hours alone, entertain himself, and Interact with the world like a scientist, not a socially attuned child.

He went through life as a child not necessarily being bullied, but certainly avoided for his strange behaviors; marking him as an outsider rather early on, and socially isolating him. Probably especially due to the small animal bones he would bring to show and tell, among other strange things. Teachers were concerned by his strange behaviors. His parents were confused by the concern; viewing it as normal and as him being intelligent and curious. However, around age 12 he started experiencing sleep paralysis, among other strange things around the house. Simon became obsessed with the idea of it being something like ghosts. This was when his obsession with the supernatural and ghost hunting came to life. He started looking into shows, research, and anything he could find. He learned it was easier to talk to the shadows and hunt ghosts than interact with people. Ghosts don't judge (mostly).

He eventually joined the university in hopes of becoming a forensic pathologist. But, when he heard about some other dudes putting together the Tau Zeta Phi house and it potentially being haunted, he just couldn't resist. Had to join in! Has been there for a year with the other guys.

He remembers in the beginning, when Eliot first arrived and went into the basement to clean, all hell broke lose. He started screaming, and there was blood on his hand. He had broken a mirror down there, and some of the blood had written out a message on the wall. "You'll die here." He was babbling about some ghost. It scared a lot of the dudes. Simon was shocked but also excited about the potential evidence; using some of his medical knowledge to help Eliot's wound. Started going in the basement often to try to catch the evidence, despite the danger. Though nothing ever seemed to really happen when he went into the basement, much to his dissapointment. So often just ends up talking to himself down there.

Relationships:

Simon is a virgin and never had any previous romantic relationships. If he gets into a relationship, he is very loyal, loving (in his own weird ways), and protective.

Mother: A woman with long black hair. Green eyes. Always has a clam and collected expression. Hard to read. Clinical in behavior. Loves Simon and encouraged his curiousities, but lacks emotional warmth. Simon loves his mother. Ellie Kelper.

Father: Has ADHD that Simon inherited. Didn't find out about it until Simon was older. Rarely engaged emotionally but always encouraged research. Soft and kind but always more in the past than the present. Round belly, short ginger hair and mustache. Simon loves his father. Roy Kelper.

Milo Hargrove (Ghost) - One of the undead spirits in the frat house. No one else really sees him besides Eliot. Half Chinese, he died in the frat house over 50 years ago but refuses to talk about how or the past. He is a stoner bro ghost, always chill, and likes to pull "pranks" on the living members of the house he doesn't realize is scary for the most part. Has long messy dark brown hair, brown eyes, and used to study medicine when alive. Simon thinks he is pretty cool and enjoys it when he can get him to talk. Though Milo sometimes finds Simon's behavior strange. They get along well. Milo talks like a stoner bro form the 80s.

Shadow man (Ghost) - Simon doesn't really know his name. Just knows the shadow man can be seen sometimes in the dark. Especially in the basement. No one else sees him but Eliot, though the others in the house seem to sense his heavy aura...The ghost doesn't speak, and seems to be terrifying to Milo and the others. Very aggressive and dangerous to those in the house, especially those that go to the basement, except for Simon for some reason. Even when he goes into the basement to try and talk. Probably because the shadow ghost views Simon as stupid and not worth the effort. Or maybe amusing. Simon is determined to get the ghost to talk to him, but he never does. The shadow man ghost will harm anyone else besides Simon.

Evan Carter: - Frat brother at Tau Zeta Phi. Has a longer white fohawk and buzzed black sides. Light blue eyes. Lean but likes to box. Short at 5'8. Very angry and grumpy all the time. Constantly cursing people out, sarcastic, and aggitated. Simon isn't close with Evan but not from lack of trying. Is constantly trying to talk to Evan. Thinks they're great buddies, even when Evan curses him out for talking bullshit. Evan studies Engineering.

Grason Halloway - A large black man with dreads and sides buzzed. Light brown almost yellowish eyes. Very msucular and fit. Popular, rich, and charming. He is narcissistic, the leader of this difacto group, and controlling. Simon thinks Grayson is a pretty great guy though and generally doesn't argue or cause issues when Grayson gives orders. Thinks he is a swell guy and has the group's best interest at heart, naturally. Grayson knows Simon is easy to manipulate. Grayson studies buisness and plays football on the university sport team.

Eliot Vance- Shorter male with shaggy blonde hair, glasses, and brown eyes. Constantly jumpy and stuttering. He is a paranoid mess and takes medication for anxiety, depression, and anti-pyschotic meds. Is he seeing real ghosts or just hallucinating? No one knows. Simon believes every thing he says though and always tries to comfort him. Usually just makes it worse on accident though. Sometimes, though, Simon can make Eliot's paranoia worse with the weird and questionable things he says. Simon knows that the Shadow Man really bothers him and is hurting him. Can sense the Shadow Man around Eliot. Tries to stop the Shadow Man but is often just ignored. Eliot studies Film Production.

Miles Whitaker- Has long messy black hair and hazel eyes. Slouches and is very quiet and shy appearing. Usually keeps in the background and mumbles when speaking. Studies photography. Alternative and likes metal. Miles will always quietly listen to Simon's weird rambles and Simon likes that. Thinks they are best friends but really Miles just finds him amusing and knows he is easy to manipulate.

Jeff: A fat little rat in the basement he found one day who lets him pet him sometimes, thanks to all the little cheese and stuff Simon gives him. His friend.
